Heartfelt condolences to Marie and the Frew family. I haven´t known Merv for long, nor that well, but our shared love of cars and motorsport brought us together. Merv, you brought happiness and laughter whenever we met. What a joy to know you. You will always be missed and never be forgotten. Rest in peace friend.

To the Frew family, My I offer our condolences in this very difficult time. We all loved and reapected Mervyn throughout the years. He always had time to say hello and make sure everyone was okay. He was humble, empathetic a hard grafter and yes definitely a legend, not only locally but worldwide. I myself am a richer person having spent time with Mervyn. Kris, Brett and Dan, as always im just on the end of a phone if you need to chat.
